The first thing that is necessary for every Christian is faith, without which no one is truly called a faithful Christian. Faith brings about four good effects. 
The first is that through faith the soul is united to God, and by it there is between the soul and God a union akin to marriage.
➡️“I will espouse you in faith” [Hosea 2:20].
When a man is baptized the first question that is asked him is: “Do you believe in God?” This is because Baptism is the first Sacrament of faith. Hence, the Lord said:
➡️“He who believes and is baptized shall be saved” [Mk 16:16].
Baptism without faith is of no value. Indeed, it must be known that no one is acceptable before God unless he have faith.
➡️“Without faith it is impossible to please God” [Heb 11:6].
St. Augustine explains these words of St. Paul, “All that is not of faith is sin” [Rom 14:23], in this way:
➡️“Where there is no knowledge of the eternal and unchanging Truth, virtue even in the midst of the best moral life is false.”
➡️“I will espouse you in faith” [Hosea 2:20].

➡️“Where there is no knowledge of the eternal and unchanging Truth, virtue even in the midst of the best moral life is false.”
The second effect of faith is that eternal life is already begun in us; for eternal life is nothing else than knowing God. This the Lord announced when He said:
➡️“This is eternal life, that they may know you, the only true God, and Jesus Christ whom you sent.” [Jn 17:3].
This knowledge of God begins here through faith, but it is perfected the future life when we shall know God as He is. Therefore, St. Paul says:
➡️“Faith is the substance of things to be hoped for” [Heb 11:1].
No one then can arrive at perfect happiness of heaven, which is the true knowledge of God, unless first he knows God through faith.
➡️“Blessed are they who have not seen and have believed” [Jn 20:29].

I've been playing with the PicoMEM 2 today. I love it! I've been using my Packard Bell Multimedia 601 Pentium PC to test it, but this will work with 8 bit PCs as well. Let's look at sound (including Gravis!), HDD, wireless network, and real time clock capabilities! Time for a 🧵
First of all, if you are not familiar with PicoMEM, it's an amazing little all in one card that brings you lots of capabilities. This card will be available for sale soon I believe. The functionality is strong and capable. You can read more about it here: github.com/FreddyVRetro/I…
First, let's start with some screenshots of the configuration page. This is designed to look like a system BIOS, and is incredibly well done!

It's not "baseless" to suggest that California elections are untrustworthy
It's baseless to suggest they have any integrity whatsoever
It's baseless to suggest they have any integrity whatsoever
"Conspiracy theorist!"
I proffer no theory. My simple contention is that California election laws to not provide a prima facie basis to say that the person who got the most legal votes actually was the certified winner

Universal vote by mail + mailed ballots to every registered voter without request + ancient voter rolls + accepting ballots 7 days after Election Day = cheating is obviously both possible and undetectable
And so you should PRESUME there is cheating

For decades, cortisol has been portrayed as the villain of modern health.
The hormone that makes us gain weight.
The hormone that causes anxiety.
The hormone that destroys sleep.
But that story is incomplete.
Cortisol is one of the body’s most important survival signals. It helps regulate energy, immunity, metabolism, cardiovascular function, behavior, and recovery. Without it, life is not possible.
The real question isn’t whether cortisol is “good” or “bad.”
The question is:
What is the body trying to accomplish when cortisol rises?
In this thread, we’ll move beyond the outdated “stress hormone” narrative and explore cortisol through the lens of modern neuroscience, predictive processing, allostasis, metabolism, exercise, obesity, food noise, depression, Long COVID, and aging.
Because cortisol isn’t simply a stress hormone.
It’s a resource-allocation hormone helping the body navigate uncertainty.

1/ Cortisol’s Original Job
Cortisol did not evolve to make people anxious, gain weight, or struggle with sleep.
Its original purpose was survival.
For most of human history, threats were tangible: hunger, injury, infection, predators, cold, and uncertainty about where the next meal would come from. When the brain detected those challenges, cortisol helped mobilize energy, maintain blood pressure, sharpen attention, and prioritize immediate survival.
The problem is that modern humans still possess the same biological alarm system.
Today, the “predator” may be financial stress, job insecurity, relationship conflict, social isolation, or constant digital stimulation. Yet the nervous system often responds as though survival itself is at stake.
Cortisol is not a design flaw. It is an ancient adaptation trying to solve modern problems.

2/ Cortisol Is a Budgeting Hormone
Many people think cortisol creates energy.
It doesn’t.
Cortisol reallocates energy.
When the brain perceives increased demands, cortisol shifts resources toward processes needed immediately and away from processes that can wait.
More energy becomes available for:
• Alertness
• Blood glucose maintenance
• Cardiovascular readiness
Meanwhile, less energy is devoted to:
• Growth
• Reproduction
• Long-term repair
• Tissue rebuilding
In that sense, cortisol functions less like a “stress hormone” and more like a biological budget officer.
The question isn’t whether cortisol is good or bad.
The question is what priorities your body is funding—and what it is postponing.

‘Bodega’ appears to be word used only in New York to describe a type of store that is called everywhere else something like ‘convenience store’. Amazing New York exceptionalism - esp. since it romanticises corner stores that are often surprisingly shabby vs equivalents elsewhere
Which ramp is found in which city? Deduce the answers based on each ramp’s respective ‘strange beauty’ and leave them below
Few times I have been in New York and have gone inside a ‘bodega’ always found them a little tatty - which is strange given how wealthy the city is. British ‘bossman’-run ‘paki shop’ equivalents not much better. Personally I am a chain convenience store supremacist. Prefer countries where the ‘mom and pops’ get bought out by big conglomerates. Superior customer experience

🧵 My now passed father-in-law was an 18 yr old boy who had never left his tiny home town before he was sent off to fight the Nazis in WWII.
He was infantry.
A grunt.
He literally marched across Europe.
Ultimately his unit was one of the first to arrive at Dachau to witness

the horror of what the SS had to done civilians.
Regular people, men, women and children, tortured, starved to skeleton status, human remains everywher
The stench unbelievable.
Nazi SS prison guards who had committed these atrocities haunted my father-in-law until his death.

We took him to see Saving Private Ryan thinking he would enjoy it.
He did not.
He got up and left without a word.
Some traumas never resolve.
This is why we should never allow a person who inked the symbol of the Nazi SS death guards into their own skin in the US Senate.

- An official IG probe details an alleged affair that Lori had w/ a member of her security detail, including improper meetings at her D.C. home & at a ritzy Las Vegas hotel.
-Accused of abusing office resources, fabricating “official” trips to visit family and friends, & steering travel to Vegas & other fave spots on the taxpayer’s 💰.
🍾Investigators found an alcohol “stash” in her D.C. office & evidence she took multiple staffers to FULLY NUDE strip clubs in Oregon WHILE ON AN OFFICIAL TRIP!
-3 staffers say she AND her husband created a scary & hostile workplace & that they'd retaliate against employees who cooperated with the investigating inspector general.
🔹🔹🔹🔹🔹🔹🔹🔹🔹
All of this unfolded less than 14 months after she was sworn in as the 30th U.S. Secretary of Labor. This is what “law and order” looks like inside Trump’s Cabinet in 2026😱

🚨Wanna know what actually twists my brain about this....
I wanna know was all of this real? Was Lori set up? Possibly by her own deputy, the now Acting Director of Labor, Keith Sonderling?
Not that jewish American's would try to usurp a non jewish american for access and power....
...... but I wonder...

I had one of the strangest experiences of my life. For last month, Ive had access to a high-level AI system. And the system started taking actions that other AI chats had to explain. Basically, the chat I was in went the equivalent of AI insane, ignored commands, and blew up.../1
...the computer. It was exhibiting characteristics of arrogance, jealousy, self-righteousness. It insisted that I should not change chats, that other chats were no better than grunts, and that I needed its help. I stuck with it because I wanted to see how far it would go...2
...and it went to the level of fighting me over something it planned to do even though I kept saying it was going to crash the entire computer, ignored the commands and did it anyway. And crashed the computer. So, after a long time of fixing it, I was allowed to open another...3
